Mr. Stephen Kent:

I just spoke to my own team yesterday. Recruitment is the number one priority for us at the moment. We have lots of areas around the country, with the exception of one area at the moment, where we are constrained, barely meeting demand and staying standing. It could change next month, though, because a lot of these other businesses, whether they be Amazon or retail enterprises, are growing and taking drivers as well. For us, therefore, it is never-ending. We cannot stand still on it. We are gearing up our training teams. Together with the CTTC, we are engaging with the Department's workforce task force so that we can address all the issues. We have some issues we have to navigate in relation to licensing, CPC cards and all the things we are doing. From our point of view, at the end of November, we will have to go abroad to recruit. We said that two weeks ago. We will have to go abroad to meet some of the demands. We have heard from the NTA that what we have still coming ahead of us is more Connecting Ireland and more BusConnects. They are good opportunities and we want to be able to deliver on them. For me, it is the number one priority at the moment in the business.
